Exporters may use the NEXDOC Free Text Endorsement functionality to request a bespoke certification endorsement that is required by their import permit or other official documentation issued by the competent authority. A copy of the official documentation outlining the import requirements (e.g., import permit) and supporting documentation (e.g., manufacturer's declaration) must be attached to the REX if requesting a free text endorsement.

Therapeutic goods will continue to be certified by the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
